About me

Hi! My name is Bram. I am a
27-year-old PhD researcher in machine translation at Ghent University.
Also a programmer, designer, geek from Belgium. Your average twenty-something-old.

My interests range from web design and programming to music and language. I have a master's degree in Linguistics, and an advanced master's in Artificial Intelligence, both obtained from KU Leuven.

For a summary of my curriculum vitae, I would refer you to my LinkedIn page. I have also provided links to my StackOverflow profile page.

Tools

My passion for language has given me a goal to spend my programming skills on. I have created two tools that allow linguists to more efficiently use specific online applications.

The first tool,
XPath Beautifier, can format XPath code in such a way that it is easier to read, edit, and use. The second one,
HTML Trees, offers an alternative to SVG to draw syntactic dependency structures on the web. Furthermore, I have
also overhauled the GrETEL web tool.

GrETEL, Greedy Extraction of Trees for Empirical Linguistics, is a tool for language users that allows you to look up syntactic phenomena
in annotated corpora. I created a complete overhaul of the GrETEL interface and improved the search algorithm on the server side.
